This set includes some minor fixes and improvements.
The one large patch addresses the special "nodir" mode,
which has been a long neglected proof of concept, but
with these fixes seems to be quite usable. It allows
the resource master to be assigned statically instead of
dynamically, which can improve performance if there is
little locality and most resources are shared.

Here is the big staging tree pull request for the 3.5-rc1 merge window.
Loads of changes here, and we just narrowly added more lines than we
added:
622 files changed, 28356 insertions(+), 26059 deletions(-)
But, good news is that there is a number of subsystems that moved out of
the staging tree, to their respective "real" portions of the kernel.
Code that moved out was:
- iio core code
- mei driver
- vme core and bridge drivers
There was one broken network driver that moved into staging as a step
before it is removed from the tree (pc300), and there was a few new
drivers added to the tree:
- new iio drivers
- gdm72xx wimax USB driver
- ipack subsystem and 2 drivers
All of the movements around have acks from the various subsystem
maintainers, and all of this has been in the linux-next tree for a

This reverts commit 8c01a529b8.
It turns out the d_unhashed() check isn't unnecessary after all: while
it's true that unhashing will increment the sequence numbers, that does
not necessarily invalidate the RCU lookup, because it might have seen
the dentry pointer (before it got unhashed), but by the time it loaded
the sequence number, it could have seen the *new* sequence number (after
it got unhashed).
End result: we might look up an unhashed dentry that is about to be
freed, with the sequence number never indicating anything bad about it.
So checking that the dentry is still hashed (*after* reading the sequence
number) is indeed the proper fix, and was never unnecessary.

Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Miklos Szeredi points out that we need to also worry about memory
odering when doing the dentry name comparison asynchronously with RCU.
In particular, doing a rename can do a memcpy() of one dentry name over
another, and we want to make sure that any unlocked reader will always
see the proper terminating NUL character, so that it won't ever run off
the allocation.
Rather than having to be extra careful with the name copy or at lookup
time for each character, this resolves the issue by making sure that all
names that are inlined in the dentry always have a NUL character at the
end of the name allocation. If we do that at dentry allocation time, we
know that no future name copy will ever change that final NUL to
anything else, so there are no memory ordering issues.
So even if a concurrent rename ends up overwriting the NUL character
that terminates the original name, we always know that there is one
final NUL at the end, and there is no worry about the lockless RCU
lookup traversing the name too far.
The out-of-line allocations are never copied over, so we can just make
sure that we write the name (with terminating NULL) and do a write
barrier before we expose the name to anything else by setting it in the
dentry.

We had for some reason overlooked the AIO interface, and it didn't use
the proper rw_verify_area() helper function that checks (for example)
mandatory locking on the file, and that the size of the access doesn't
cause us to overflow the provided offset limits etc.
Instead, AIO did just the security_file_permission() thing (that
rw_verify_area() also does) directly.
This fixes it to do all the proper helper functions, which not only
means that now mandatory file locking works with AIO too, we can
actually remove lines of code.

Pull networking changes from David Miller:
1) Get rid of the error prone NLA_PUT*() macros that used an embedded
goto.
2) Kill off the token-ring and MCA networking drivers, from Paul
Gortmaker.
3) Reduce high-order allocations made by datagram AF_UNIX sockets, from
Eric Dumazet.
4) Add PTP hardware clock support to IGB and IXGBE, from Richard
Cochran and Jacob Keller.
5) Allow users to query timestamping capabilities of a card via
ethtool, from Richard Cochran.
6) Add loadbalance mode to the teaming driver, from Jiri Pirko. Part
of this is that we can now have BPF filters not attached to sockets,
and the loadbalancing function is calculated using one.
7) Francois Romieu went through the network drivers removing gratuitous
uses of netdev->base_addr, perhaps some day we can remove it
completely but it's used for ISA probing still.
8) Add a BPF JIT for sparc. I know, who cares, right? :-)
9) Move networking sysctl registry away from using the compatability
mode interfaces in the sysctl code. From Eric W Biederman.
10) Pavel Emelyanov added a way to save and restore TCP socket state via
TCP_REPAIR, TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE, and TCP_QUEUE_SEQ socket options as
well as a way to forcefully bind a socket to a port via the
sk->sk_reuse value SK_FORCE_REUSE. There is also a
TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS which allows to reinstante the TCP options
enabled on the connection.
11) Several enhancements from Eric Dumazet that, in particular, can
enhance splice performance on TCP sockets significantly.
a) Reset the offset of the per-socket sendmsg page when we know
we're the only use of the page in linear_to_page().
b) Add facilities such that skb->data can be backed a page rather
than SLAB kmalloc'd memory. In particular devices which were
receiving into linear RX buffers can now end up providing paged
data.
The big result is that code like splice and GRO do not have to copy
any more.
12) Allow a pure sender to more gracefully handle ACK backlogs in TCP.
What can happen at high rates is that the sender hasn't grown his
receive buffer limits at all (he's not receiving data so really
doesn't need to), but the non-data ACKs consume receive buffer
space.
sk_add_backlog() is too aggressive in dropping frames in this case,
so relax it's requirements by using the receive buffer plus the send
buffer limit as the backlog limit instead of just the former.
Also from Eric Dumazet.
13) Add ipv6 support to L2TP, from Benjamin LaHaise, James Chapman, and
Chris Elston.
14) Implement TCP early retransmit (RFC 5827), from Yuchung Cheng.
Basically, we can start fast retransmit before hiting the dupack
threshold under certain conditions.
15) New CODEL active queue management packet scheduler, from Eric
Dumazet based upon initial work by Dave Taht.
Basically, the big feature is that packets are dropped (or ECN bits
are set) based upon how long packets live in the queue, rather than
the queue length (which is what RED uses).

This branch simplifies and clarifies the dcache lookup, and allows us to
do certain nice optimizations when comparing dentries. It also cleans
up the interface to __d_lookup_rcu(), especially around passing the
inode information around.

vfs: make it possible to access the dentry hash/len as one 64-bit entry

vfs: do the careful dentry name access for all dentry_cmp cases
vfs: remove unnecessary d_unhashed() check from __d_lookup_rcu

case.
More noticeably, it also cleans up and simplifies the "getname_flags()"
function, which now relies on the architecture strncpy_from_user() doing
all the user access checks properly, instead of hacking around the fact
that on x86 it didn't use to do it right (see commit 92ae03f2ef: "x86:
merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up").
* vfs-cleanups:
VFS: make vfs_fstat() use f[get|put]_light()
VFS: clean up and simplify getname_flags()
x86: make word-at-a-time strncpy_from_user clear bytes at the end
This makes cp_new_stat() a bit more readable, and avoids having to
memset() the whole structure just to fill in a couple of padding fields.
This is another result of me looking at code generation of functions
that show up high on certain kernel profiles, and just going "Oh, let's
just clean that up".
Architectures that don't supply the #define to fill just the padding
fields will still fall back to memset().
* stat-cleanups:
vfs: don't force a big memset of stat data just to clear padding fields
vfs: de-crapify "cp_new_stat()" function
Richard removed the "dtype" hint, but few commentaries were left and this patch
removes them. I've also added a better description about the "dtype" field in
the ubi-user.h for people who may ever wonder what was that dtype thing about.
This patch also adds an important note that it is better to use value "3" for
the "dtype" field.

UBIFS leaks memory on error path in 'mount_ubifs()'. In case of failure in
'ubifs_fixup_free_space()', it does not call 'ubifs_lpt_free()' whereas LPT
data structures can potentially be allocated. The amount of memory leaked can
be quite high -- see 'ubifs_lpt_init()'.
The bug was introduced when moving the LPT initialisation earlier in the
mount process (commit '781c5717a95a74b294beb38b8276943b0f8b5bb4').

Most functions in UBIFS follow the following designn pattern: if the function
allocates multiple resources, and failss at some point, it frees what it has
allocated and returns an error. So the caller can rely on the fact that the
callee has cleaned up everything after own failure.

Instead of doing the i_mode calculations at proc_fd_instantiate() time,
move them into tid_fd_revalidate(), which is where the other inode state
(notably uid/gid information) is updated too.
Otherwise we'll end up with stale i_mode information if an fd is re-used
while the dentry still hangs around. Not that anything really *cares*
(symlink permissions don't really matter), but Tetsuo Handa noticed that
the owner read/write bits don't always match the state of the
readability of the file descriptor, and we _used_ to get this right a
long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
Besides, aside from fixing an ugly detail (that has apparently been this
way since commit 61a2878402: "proc: Remove the hard coded inode
numbers" in 2006), this removes more lines of code than it adds. And it
just makes sense to update i_mode in the same place we update i_uid/gid.
Al Viro correctly points out that we could just do the inode fill in the
inode iops ->getattr() function instead. However, that does require
somewhat slightly more invasive changes, and adds yet *another* lookup
of the file descriptor. We need to do the revalidate() for other
reasons anyway, and have the file descriptor handy, so we might as well
fill in the information at this point.

1. Kconfig and Makefiles fixups, of course.
2. In pstore/ram.c we have to play a bit with MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX, this

C6x userspace supports a shared library mechanism called DSBT for systems with
no MMU. DSBT is similar to FDPIC in allowing shared text segments and private
copies of data segments without an MMU. Both methods access data using a base
register and offset. With FDPIC, the caller of an external function sets up the
base register for the callee. With DSBT, the called function sets up its own
base register. Other details differ but both userspaces need the same thing
from the kernel loader: a map of where each ELF segment was loaded. The FDPIC
loader already provides this, so DSBT just uses it.
This patch enables BINFMT_ELF_FDPIC by default for C6X and provides the
necessary architecture hooks for the generic loader.

This patch (as1554) fixes a lockdep false-positive report. The
problem arises because lockdep is unable to deal with the
tree-structured locks created by the device core and sysfs.
This particular problem involves a sysfs attribute method that
unregisters itself, not from the device it was called for, but from a
descendant device. Lockdep doesn't understand the distinction and
reports a possible deadlock, even though the operation is safe.
This is the sort of thing that would normally be handled by using a
nested lock annotation; unfortunately it's not feasible to do that
here. There's no sensible way to tell sysfs when attribute removal
occurs in the context of a parent attribute method.
As a workaround, the patch adds a new flag to struct attribute
telling sysfs not to inform lockdep when it acquires a readlock on a
sysfs_dirent instance for the attribute. The readlock is still
acquired, but lockdep doesn't know about it and hence does not
complain about impossible deadlock scenarios.
Also added are macros for static initialization of attribute
structures with the ignore_lockdep flag set. The three offending
attributes in the USB subsystem are converted to use the new macros.

Squashfs manages to read in the end block(s) of the disk during the
mount operation. Then, when dd reads the block device, it leads to
block_read_full_page being called with buffers that are beyond end of
disk, but are marked as mapped. Thus, it would end up submitting read
I/O against them, resulting in the errors mentioned above. I fixed the
problem by modifying init_page_buffers to only set the buffer mapped if
it fell inside of i_size.

This is a second attempt at a patch that adds rgrp information to the
block allocation trace point for GFS2. As suggested, the patch was
modified to list the rgrp information _after_ the fields that exist today.
Again, the reason for this patch is to allow us to trace and debug
problems with the block reservations patch, which is still in the works.
We can debug problems with reservations if we can see what block allocations
result from the block reservations. It may also be handy in figuring out
if there are problems in rgrp free space accounting. In other words,
we can use it to track the rgrp and its free space along side the allocations
that are taking place.

This allows comparing hash and len in one operation on 64-bit
architectures. Right now only __d_lookup_rcu() takes advantage of this,
since that is the case we care most about.
The use of anonymous struct/unions hides the alternate 64-bit approach
from most users, the exception being a few cases where we initialize a
'struct qstr' with a static initializer. This makes the problematic
cases use a new QSTR_INIT() helper function for that (but initializing
just the name pointer with a "{ .name = xyzzy }" initializer remains
valid, as does just copying another qstr structure).

All callers do want to check the dentry length, but some of them can
check the length and the hash together, so doing it in dentry_cmp() can
be counter-productive.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Commit 12f8ad4b05 ("vfs: clean up __d_lookup_rcu() and dentry_cmp()
interfaces") did the careful ACCESS_ONCE() of the dentry name only for
the word-at-a-time case, even though the issue is generic.
Admittedly I don't really see gcc ever reloading the value in the middle
of the loop, so the ACCESS_ONCE() protects us from a fairly theoretical
issue. But better safe than sorry.
Also, this consolidates the common parts of the word-at-a-time and
bytewise logic, which includes checking the length. We'll be changing
that later.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
The check for d_unhashed() is not strictly incorrect, but at the same
time it is also not sensible. The actual dentry removal from the dentry
hash chains is totally asynchronous to the __d_lookup_rcu() logic, and
we depend on __d_drop() updating the sequence number to invalidate any
lookup of an unhashed dentry.
So checking d_unhashed() is not incorrect, but it's not useful either:
the code has to work correctly even without it. So just remove it.
